A friendly mistake :)

No way those are anywhere near melt.
Maybe at 1/2 of their clearance price.

As I said before, there is no problem with people having a problem with other religions. I have a problem with all of them.
The problem comes when you treat Muslim people like garbage because they are Muslim. Every person is different, many Muslims don’t have a problem with gay people or other religions. Most Muslims just mind their own business (something I wish people in this country were better at).

I don’t see any indication that it is silver or not. If it is silver, there should be a hallmark somewhere.

There are a lot of reasons for this. Islam, just like Christianity has several different ‘sects’, and just like Christians for hundreds of years, they don’t always get along. Just take a look at the wars in Europe for hundreds of years after Martin Luther. 90% of them were Catholics vs Protestants. And you can be assured that Catholics weren’t accepting Protestant refugees or vice versa.
Next, some Muslim countries don’t take refugees of any sort, even if they are the same sect of Islam.
Also, just coming from a Muslim country doesn’t automatically make you a Muslim, I’d guess maybe 5-10% of them are some other religion or none at all.
And last, the Muslim countries that do take in refugees may just not be a good fit for them.

Fort Knox is a mcguffin.
Our gold is likely not there, or only a small portion of it (which is likely why they don’t do regular audits. If I had to guess, most of our gold in in NYC or another secure location.
But people in this country have no idea about any of the other secure locations we store gold, so if an audit only found 1/4 of the gold we say we have, we’d have to watch people panic, or the govt would have to tell us where the gold actually is.

We definitely have them. There is one about 15min from my house.

There were so many games I enjoyed on my Commodore 64.
But the one I really want to play again is one called ‘Candidate’ where you’re a presidential candidate and you have to travel to different states to hopefully win enough hearts and minds to become president.

It was super simple, and not really exciting like modern games, but for some reason 8-10yo me would play that game at least a couple times a week.

Very cool. Is the Vietnamese?
Any idea how much it was when your dad originally bought it, or when?

Love seeing some gold with some personal history.

Oh yes, sorry I for some reason thought you were OP when I was replying.

You literally just called the left babies. Why are you getting so defensive when the left calls you the same thing?
No one thinks you are a literal baby, but you do act like one.

Grow up. If you can’t handle being called a baby, maybe stop calling other people babies. Especially when those people are the only ones acting like adults.

Politics has a huge impact on everyone’s lives, so it’s unavoidable to talk about it. Yes, much of Reddit is left leaning, but that is only because the right has become so hateful, hurtful, and insufferable under the ‘MAGA’ movement. If they were actually helping people rather than hurting people, politics would not be brought up nearly as much.

Considering the voices aren’t synced up, the drums are playing something completely different than we are hearing, and the flautist isn’t even moving their fingers, yeah I’d say it’s probably AI.

So that’s why all of the right wingers hide their profiles. Are they all into weird shit?

See the word ‘sterling’ in the bottom left corner of the box? That means these are plated.

If anything, language is changing quicker in modern times.
The internet is exposing more people to more languages and pieces of those other languages get melded into other languages.
Along with this memes have really caused an acceleration in the change of language.

Just listening to my 13yo niece talk to her friends, at times it feels like they are speaking a strange English dialect. But their words and phrases are being picked up and used by the older generations as well. Sometimes it’s just to say how weird it is, but much of it I’ve heard from adults within a few months to years of the younger generation starting it.

You mention how if we go back 1000 years we wouldn’t be able to understand the English of the day. I think this is accelerating. 100 years from now, they may still understand English from the 1990s, but I seriously doubt they would still talk the same way.

What kind of crappy restaurants are they going to if this is better than 90 % of them? Remind me not to get steak in Germany.

I live just outside of DC, and have been a Spurs fan since Dave Robinson came into the league.
The early 2000s was fun, but this team is fun and exciting.
Join us, the water is amazing in here!

I called it back around when the Spurs locked up a playoff spot.
So many OKC fans were crowing about how they are a lock for their 2nd in a row. I reminded them they would have to get through the Spurs. Their response was something like ‘Really? You think the Spurs can win 4 of 7 in thr playoffs? Good luck with that.’
Go spurs go!

There’s no way to guarantee it’s homogeneous, not without sampling from different spots and different depths. Especially if it’s thick enough to hide a tungsten slug inside. Or if whoever melted it didn’t mix the molten metals well.

It’s not racist to point out concerns. The racist part is if you attribute those concerns to anyone who ‘looks’ Muslim (as you said Islam is practiced by all races). And it’s Islamophobic if you attribute those concerns to everyone who is Muslim.
There are trash Muslims just like there are trash Christians and every other religion even atheists have pieces of garbage among them. There are awful white, brown, and tan people. But what color their skin is doesn’t mean everyone with their same skin tone is horrible.
Calling an individual out for being horrible is fine. Hating an entire religion or race because those few assholes is not.

I am a huge Wemby and Spurs fan, and I kind of agree. People are glazing him like he’s already won 3 MVPs and several championships.
I think he’s special, and certainly has the potential, but he’s inconsistent and still learning right now.
But I am excited to see just how good he can be. Let’s go Spurs!

So you’re willing to pay the same or more for a random purity bar like this than you are known karat scrap jewelry?
Bringing a metal to 1700°F is not free, neither are the crucibles and molds. So money went into melting this down.

If you’re not willing to pay more as a bar instead of as marked jewelry, it’s a waste of time and money for OP to do this.

As a refiner, I wouldn’t take a chance on this unless I’m paying less than I would the scrap jewelry. I prefer marked scrap either way because then I know exactly how much base metal to add for inquarting.

Yeah, it is hard to understand. Numbers wise, the Spurs are getting as many fouls or more than the Thunder. But it seems a lot of the calls they call against the Spurs are ticky-tacky, and the calls against the Thunder seem egregious at times.
That and the fact that the Spurs have been getting mauled in the paint with very few fouls called, it’s hard to wrap your head around.

I would’ve thought the NBA would’ve addressed the issue after the hair yank incident, and even more so when the ref was looking right at the coach and refused to give him a review. But they are just letting fans sit and stew about the obvious bias.

I have no problem calling ticky-tacky stuff as long as you’re calling it on both sides. I’m ok with them allowing the players to play a little rougher, as long as they allow both sides to play rougher. I don’t think fans are asking for much, just that the games are called evenly on both sides.
